2012 Fly-In - Awards

The annual TWW Fly-in is set for February 28th-29th, 2012. The Fly-in is the 6,300 member TWW coalition’s principal venue to inform Congress of the importance and value of the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants Program. As part of this event, TWW honored Members of Congress for helping to put some of the nation’s most at-risk fish and wildlife species on the road to recovery at a congressional reception to be held on February 29th.

The TWW Coalition Member Achievement Award recognizes outstanding efforts and achievements of a TWW coalition member in support of funding for fish and wildlife conservation. The State Wildlife Action Plan Partnership Award recognizes both a state fish and wildlife agency and a partner agency or organization for their outstanding collaboration in the implementation or revision of the state’s Wildlife Action Plan.
